TranSwitch will showcase its premier VLSI solutions for Ethernet and Sonet/SDH transport this week at ITU Telecom World 2003 in Geneva, Switzerland. These include the EtherMap family of highly integrated OC-3 to OC-48 EoS mappers, the Envoy family of versatile Ethernet controllers which seamlessly interface with Intel's IPX series of network processors, and the flexible Phast family of Sonet/SDH framers and overhead terminators. EtherMap and Phast devices combine seamlessly to provide a complete EoS chipset solution for transporting a broad range of voice and data traffic across the widely deployed Sonet/SDH infrastructure.
TranSwitch will conduct in-booth demonstrations of live Ethernet transport using several of these devices, which are ideal for adapting Ethernet traffic onto existing Sonet/SDH access and metro networks.
TranSwitch's popular EtherMap family of full-function Sonet/SDH mappers currently features the EtherMap-3, EtherMap-12 and EtherMap-48 devices.
They are especially suited for efficiently deploying Ethernet services on existing Sonet/SDH infrastructure using high- and low-order virtual concatenation (VCAT or VC) and link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS).
In combination with the Phast series of framers, the EtherMap family offers unique EoS application diversity to carriers in the metro edge.
Key benefits include multiport/multirate standards compliance, multi-encapsulation capability, and a high degree of bandwidth granularity, resulting in reduced platform cost, faster time to market and greater revenue generation.
The Phast family of transport solutions affords easier integration with existing backplanes and provides excellent price/performance cost structure for line cards.
The newest members of the family are the Phast-12N and Phast-12P multirate PHY framers, designed to provide complete system level solutions for OC-12 and 4xOC-3 telecomms and datacomms applications with the robust protection required by carriers.
Major benefits include Sonet/SDH standards compliance, reduced software development time, and lower space and power requirements, resulting in faster time to market and significant cost savings.
Together with a complete package of development tools, these EoS solutions give network systems providers the power to customise and differentiate their products for today's competitive markets.
TranSwitch representatives will be on hand to demonstrate how these transport solutions intelligently map Ethernet traffic into Sonet/SDH systems and adapt Ethernet streams into packet flows, resulting in increased efficiency in existing access and metro networks.
With this capability, carriers can profitably deploy new data services, generating additional revenue opportunities without additional capital expense.
TranSwitch is exhibiting at ITU Telecom in the USA Pavilion on booth 225.
